INSERTION OF THE TUBES
1.Using the screwdriver supplied, remove the cover of the Amp 1. For your convenience, only two of the screws are installed at the factory.
2.When handling the tubes, it is recommended that the cotton gloves provided be worn to prevent skin oils from depositing on the glass surface and possibly causing the tube to become prematurely “gassy”, thereby shortening the tube’s useful operating life.
3.Noting the location of the tube sockets in the top view photo, inspect the tubes for corresponding labels and markings. Once locations are mapped, take a tube and inspect the pins, noting the larger space between two of the pins (see Figure 2). This space will match with the socket. Insert each tube into the appropriate tube socket, making sure all pins and pin holes are aligned. Do not force the tubes into the sockets. “Rock” the tubes gently while pushing slowly until each tube is firmly seated.
